Israel will gradually annex Area C of the West Bank now that the negotiations with the Palestinians have failed, Economic Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday afternoon. “We will be gradually attempting to apply Israeli law on Israeli controlled areas of Judea and Samaria,” Bennett told reporters as he stood in the Gush Etzion settlement of Neveh Daniel and looked out at the surrounding green and brown hilltops. Bennett blamed the break down of the talks on the unity deal between Fatah and Hamas. “The cabinet has taken a unanimous decision not to negotiate with a government that includes Hamas,” Bennett said. “I have heard voices from over the ocean, including Europe that call on us to negotiate with this kind of government,” he said.
